A Czech woman suffered back injuries and was transferred to hospital, a coast official said.

O'Connell described the piece of rock that fell as being as big as a four-storey building, crashing down onto the beach. Meanwhile, some boats were capsizing in the strong waves. Rescue services employed sniffer dogs to search the beach itself for possible victims of the rockfall.

Two small boats just off Navagio beach - nicknamed "ShipwreckBeach", after a freighter shipwreck in 1980 - also capsized as a result of the rockslide.
